This document provides context and details for a student project to design an improved city layout in Malaysia. It discusses guidelines for what makes a city, including permanent settlements, infrastructure, and government. It also examines characteristics of ancient, present, and future cities to help plan a better city. The student specifically proposes designing an underwater city called "The Caracatita" and provides an introduction, investigation sections, and conclusion.

Introduction
As
a
part
of
our
final
Element
of
Natural
and
Built
Environment
(ENBE)
assignment,
we
were
asked
to
imagine
ourselves
as
mayors
of
30-­‐kilometers-­‐square
wide
city
with
about
200,000
people
and
is
required
to
propose
the
new
improved
city
layout
in
Malaysia
that
improves
the
people’s
living
environment
and
also
a
sustainable
city
for
the
future.
As
a
group,
we
agreed
on
a
whole
new
setting
for
our
city,
which
is
an
underwater
city.
In
the
process
of
this
project,
we
learnt
how
and
what
makes
a
city
as
well
as
how
other
famous
existing
cities
such
as
Byblos,
Gaziantep
and
Portland
are
sustained.
Therefore,
we
have
to
study
about
cities
at
different
period
of
time
(ancient
cities,
present
cities
and
the
future
cities)
in
order
to
plan
and
achieve
a
better
city.
This
project
is
to
expose
the
elements
of
the
natural
and
built
environment
in
their
basic
unit,
form
and
function
as
well
as
to
help
students
understand
the
impact
between
natural
and
built
environment.

City
A
city
is
a
center
of
population,
culture
or
a
relatively
large
and
permanent
human
settlement
that
have
a
specific
administrative,
structure
and
system
based
on
local
law.
It
is
a
place
where
people
live
and
work
together.
The building of cities has a rather long and complex history. Although city planning as an
organized profession has existed for less than a century, all cities display various degrees of
forethought and conscious design in their layout and functioning. Early humans led a
nomadic existence, relying on hunting and gathering for daily needs. About 8000 and 10000
years ago, systematic cultivation of plants and the domestication of animals allowed for more
permanent settlements such as some
of
the
earliest
cities
in
the
7500BC
and
also
in
the
Neolithic
times.

What
makes
a
city,
a
city?
As
mentioned
above,
a
city
is
a
place
where
people
settle
down
permanently
and
therefore,
as
the
mayor
of
a
city,
one
have
to
make
sure
that
there
are
good
circulation
and
connectivity
all
round
the
city
as
well
as
complete
and
convenient
facilities
or
services
provided.
Having
efficient
power
supply,
water,
food
supplies
and
daily
needs
also
play
an
important
role
in
maintaining
the
existence
of
a
city.
But,
what
makes
a
good
city?
But
what
really
makes
a
city
good
and
sustainable?
Among
other
things,
great
cities
welcome
ethnic
diversity,
support
and
foster
the
arts,
have
access
to
venture
capital
to
spur
entrepreneurship
and
innovation
and
benefit
from
healthy
environments
that
provide
clean
air
and
water.
A
good
city
will
definitely
last
with
government
entity
that
has
powers
delegated
by
the
votes
of
the
citizens
in
the
city
fairly.
What
will
future
towns
be
like?
It
is
hard
to
make
a
statement
of
what
is
a
future
city
and
what
makes
it
futuristic
as
everyone
has
their
point
of
views
and
opinions.
For
me,
I
would
prefer
a
quieter
place
and
where
tranquility
and
happiness
exist.
I
understand
that
future
cities
do
not
necessarily
need
shiny
flying
cars
swooping
around
tall
sophisticated
skyscrapers,
everything
goes
back
to
square
one.
A
future
city
is
a
city
that
is
sustainable
and
healthy
in
all
aspects
like
living,
working
or
studying
environment,
systems
and
such.

Investigation & Data Collection:
Ancient Cities
1.
Petra,
Jordan
Petra,
in
Jordan,
was
settled
as
early
as
312
BCE,
although
the
area
around
the
city
had
been
settled
around
7000
BCE.
It
is
mentioned
in
accounts
of
Egyptian
military
campaigns
as
well
as
in
the
Biblical
book
of
Exodus,
as
the
country
of
the
Horites,
with
the
city
itself
referred
to
as
Sela
or
‘the
cleft
in
the
rock.’
Archaeologists
believe
that
the
city
was
originally
settled
as
a
means
to
control
the
natural
reservoirs
that
form
beneath
it
or
possibly
as
a
burial
site.
Writers
such
as
Pliny
the
Elder
recognized
Petra
as
a
major
trade
site
between
Gaza
and
Syria
and
then
on
into
Rome,
which
allowed
the
city
to
prosper.
It
was
not
until
its
conquest
by
Rome
in
106
CE
that
the
city
began
to
enter
a
slow
decline.

The
site
was
forgotten,
until
1812,
when
it
was
rediscovered
by
Swiss
explorer
Johann
Ludwig
Burckhardt.
The
site
is
now
on
the
UNESCO
Intangible
Cultural
Heritage
List,
and
the
agency
declared
Petra
to
be
‘one
of
the
most
precious
cultural
properties
of
man's
cultural
heritage.’
Excavations
have
demonstrated
that
it
was
the
ability
of
the
Nabataeans
to
control
the
water
supply
that
led
to
the
rise
of
the
desert
city,
creating
an
artificial
oasis.
The
area
is
visited
by
flash
floods
and
archaeological
evidence
demonstrates
the
Nabataeans
controlled
these
floods
by
the
use
of
dams,
cisterns
and
water
conduits.
These
innovations
stored
water
for
prolonged
periods
of
drought
and
enabled
the
city
to
prosper
from
its
sale.
The
combination
of
how
the
buildings
are
built
to
protect
the
people
and
the
beauty
and
design
of
the
buildings
impress
me.
It
defends
and
look
so
inspiring
at
the
same
time;
for
The
Caracatita,
I
plan
to
do
build
a
defense
wall
as
well.

Derinkuyu
Underground
City
Approximately
built
during
the
7th
to
8th
centuries
B.C.
at
Nevşehir
Province,
Turkey
in
the
Dderinkuyu
district,
the
Derinkuyu
Underground
City
is
considered
as
one
of
the
deepest
underground
city
ever
found
today
with
an
approximate
depth
of
85m.
The
underground
city
at
Derinkuyu
could
be
closed
from
the
inside
with
large
stone
doors;
each
floor
could
be
closed
off
separately.
The
underground
city
is
built
mainly
to
escape
during
the
attacks
above
ground
due
to
religious
conflicts.

With
the
accomodation
capacity
of
an
approximately
20,000
people,
it
also
holds
a
school
complete
with
study
rooms,
storage
rooms,
refectories,
churches,
wineries
and
so
much
more,
One
of
its
interesting
feature
is
its
15,000
ventilation
ducts
with
depth
reaching
as
deep
as
55m;
providing
fresh
air
and
ventilation
deep
within
the
underground
city.
It
was
opened
to
visitors
in
1969
and
to
date,
about
half
of
the
underground
city
is
accessible
to
tourists.
After
reading
through
articles
regarding
about
the
history
of
Derinkuyu
Underground
City,
it
oroves
that
us
humans
will
go
beyond
measure
just
for
protectiom
purposes,
so
far
where
they
created
their
own
unerground
city
through
simple
tools
of
digging.
One
of
the
key
element
that
I
would
like
to
extract
from
this
city
is
the
uses
of
large
ventilation
because
it
is
one
of
the
biggest
problems
faced
when
proposing
an
underground
as
well
as
an
underwater
city.

City
of
Lancaster,
UK
A
relatively
small
city
of
7
square
miles
and
60,000
residents
that
is
located
within
driving
distance
of
Washington,
DC.
It
is
named
after
its
largest
settlement,
Lancaster,
but
covers
a
far
larger
area
which
includes
the
towns
of
Morecambe,
Heysham
and
Carnforth,
as
well
as
outlying
villages,
farms
and

In

Book,
some
of
its
lands
had
been
treated
as
part
of
Yorkshire.
The
area
in
between
Mersey
and
Ribble
formed
part
of
the
returns
for
Cheshire.
Although
some
have
taken
this
to
mean
that
at
this
time
south
Lancaster
was
part
of
Cheshire,
it
is
not
clear
that
this
was
the
case
and
more
recent
research
indicates
that
the
boundary
between
Cheshire
and
what
was
to
become
Lancashire
remained
the
river

From
my
point
of
view,
Copenhagen,
capital
of
Denmark,
is
a
promising
future
city
because
it
has
the
criteria
of
being
one.
With
an
urban
population

1.2
million
and
total
land
area
of
77.2

the

focus
of

how

people
travel:
cycling.

Cycling
became
a
norm
in
Copenhagen
back
in
the
20th
century
where
the
city’s
first
bicycle
path
was
established
in
1892.
Back
then,
there
was
only
2500
bicycles
around
the
city
but
the
number
quickly
increased
after
17
years
later
with
80,000
cyclists
everyday.
The
tradition
of
riding
a
bike
continues
until
this
day
such
that
about
450,000
people
treat
cycling
as
their
main
transportation
everyday.
Copenhagen
is
well-­‐known
as
being
the
most
bicycle-­‐friendly
cities
in
the
world.
The
city
offers
free
public
bicycles
and
also
with
an
extensive
and
well-­‐designed
system
of
cycle
tracks.
About
36%
of
all
citizens
of
Copenhagen
cycle
to
work,
school
and
university;
covering
1.2
million
kilometers
daily.
As
mentioned
before,
Copenhagen
aimed
to
be
the
world’s
first
carbon
neutral
capital
by
2025,
an
adventurous
goal
and
criteria
of
a
great
future
city.
As
for
my
town,
The
Caracatita,
I
plan
to
promote
a
similar
transportation
method
that
is
healthy,
environment
friendly,
cheap
and
convenient.

Singapore
Singapore,
officially
the
Republic
of
Singapore,
is
a
sovereign
city-­‐state
and
island
country
in
Southeast
Asia.
It
lies
off
the
southern
tip
of
the
Malay
Peninsula
and
is
137
kilometers
(85
mi)
north
of
the
equator.
The
country's
territory
consists
of
the
lozenge-­‐
shaped
main
island,
commonly
referred
to
as
Singapore
Island
in
English
and
Pulau
Ujong
in
Malay,
and
more
than
60
significantly
smaller
islets.
[Singapore
is
separated
from
Peninsular
Malaysia
by
the
Straits
of
Johor
to
the
north,
and
from
Indonesia's
Riau
Islands
by
the
Singapore
Strait
to
the
south.
Water
supply
and
sanitation
was
a
problem
for
the
densely
populated
island
of
Singapore.
With
total
land
area
of
710
kilometer
square
and
population
of
5.3
million.
Singapore
goes
beyond
to
provide
the
very
basic
but
challenging
element
for
the
people
which
is
the
efficiency
supply
of
water.

The
reason
why
Singapore
is
listed
under
the
Potential
Future
City
examples
section
is
due
to
its
capability
to
supple
enough
water
for
its
people
even
with
limited
land
availability.
Methods
taken
such
as
Local
Catchment
Water,
where
rainwater
is
collected
through
drains,
canals,
rivers
etc.
and
later
for
drinking
water
supply.
Desalinated
of
seawater
where
Singapore
is
one
of
Asia’s
largest
seawater
reverse-­‐
osmosis
plant,
which
produces
30
million
gallons
of
water
a
day.
Though
Singapore
still
import
water
from
Malaysia
until
2061
agreement,
Singapore
is
still
classified
as
a
potential
to
be
a
fine
future
city
example
in
my
book
because
of
its
initiative
to
overcome
water
supply
obstacles
and
maintaining
as
a
sustainable
city.
A
creditable
research
and
information,
which
can
be
used
in
my
proposed
city’s
water
management
system.

The Caracatita
A
place
where
tranquility
exist.
The
design
of
The
Caracatita
city
plan
is
proposed
to
overcome
and
extract
the
benefits
of
the
rising
temperature,
air
pollution,
noise
pollution,
land
pollution
etc.
and
the
list
goes
on
caused
by
global
warming,
while
simultaneously
retaining
the
humane
experience
for
the
citizens.
The
reason
why
our
group
decided
to
go
underwater
is
rather
straightforward.
1. to
shelter
the
citizens
from
the
scorching
heat
and
deadly
ultraviolet
rays
due
to
the
thinning
of
ozone
layer
2. to
allow
citizens
to
experience
being
underwater;
as
the
tagline
of
this
city
is,
‘A
place
where
tranquility
exist.’
3. reuse
of
seawater
which
can
provide
sufficient
water
supply
to
the
city
like
Singapore’s
iconic
desalination
of
seawater
to
supply
the
country’s
water
needs

The
pink
area
in
the
middle
is
actually
a
three-­‐storey
high
building
designed
like
an
octopus
head;
only
its
top
is
exposed
to
sunlight
and
a
little
air
that
acts
as
an
access
or
port
as
well
as
a
garden;
the
second
floor
is
where
this
town’s
attraction
is
located
and
where
people
can
enjoy
and
the
last
floor
is
the
town
hall
where
people
gather,
while
the
other
smaller
circles
that
are
located
on
the
sea
bed
and
have
large
area
and
consist
of
residential,
commercial
blocks,
government
offices
as
well
as
educational
buildings
and
such.

Underwater
subway
is
a
personal
rapid
transit
network
based
on
human-­‐powered
monorail
cars,
it
makes
people’s
life
very
much
easier
to
move
around
the
town
but
it
might
cause
laziness
as
all
citizens
would
only
seat
in
the
subway
and
not
exercising
at
all.
I
plan
to
build
bicycle
lanes
so
that
people
can
at
least
exercise
a
little
and
also
the
walkalator
would
help
a
lot
as
well.

Residential
Zone
There
are
3
different
buildings
in
both
the
semi-­‐sphere
itself,
which
are:
1.
High
density
residential,
eg.:
condominium,
apartment
etc.
2.
medium
density
residential,
eg.:
semi
detached
houses
3.
low
density
residential,
eg.:
bungalows
Shopping
&
Business
Zone
(Commerical)
This
zone
consists
of
retail
shops,
shopping
malls
and
business
buildings.
Government,
Industrial
&
Educational
Zone
Government
buildings
are
located
here
(Caracatita
Parlimen),
water
turbines
to
convert
kinetic
energy
from
waves
to
electrical
energy
to
supple
the
town.
Caracatita’s
College
&
University
and
a
few
primary
and
secondary
schools
are
here
too.
Hospital,
Religious
&
Services
Two
big
hospitals
for
about
200,000
people
is
just
sufficient
and
with
the
two
churches,
two
mosques
and
temples,
the
town
will
be
live
in
faith.
As
for
services,
police
will
do
frequent
check
on
CCTV
surveillance
over
the
whole
town
and
since
the
town
is
rather
small,
it
would
be
safe
enough.
Port/Tourism/
Town
Hall
Being
an
underwater
town
with
a
surface
exposed
in
air
and
sunlight,
it
can
be
used
as
a
dock
where
people
from
other
towns
can
stop
here
and
therefore
proceed
with
the
next
floor
as
it
is
a
tourist
attraction
and
then
the
next,
the
town
hall,
where
people
gather
during
festivals
or
such.

As
mentioned
before,
the
top
floor
of
the
main
building
is
an
access
and
also
a
garden
where
people
can
hang
out
to
enjoy
the
sunlight.
The
garden
is
part
indoor
part
outdoor
and
is
inspired
by
the
Walkie
Talkie
Building’s
highest
floor
in
London.
Whereas
the
second
floor,
the
tourist
attraction,
a
chance
for
people
to
experience
being
in
a
see-­‐through
cage
in
water
with
sharks
and
other
fishes.
People
can
interact
with
less
dangerous
fishes
as
well
as
this
floor
provides
snorkeling
and
scuba
diving.
The
Caracatita’s
town
hall
is
located
in
the
main
building’s
third
floor,
a
place
where
people
gather
during
festivals
or
any
meetings
and
such.
It
is
just
a
typical
big
empty
hall
with
chairs
and
tables
to
be
used
when
needed.

Elements
in
The
Caracatita
1. Fixed
transit
routes
Fixed
transit
routes
are
planned
for
subways,
a
walkalator
and
bicycle
routes
throughout
the
town.
Fixed
transit
helps
to
guide
development
and
keep
the
streets
busy.
When
development
happens
around
fixed-­‐transit,
it
is
easy
to
get
around
on
foot
because
everything
is
closer
together.
2. Bicycle
friendly
town
Multistory
automatic
bicycle
parking
stations
are
located
almost
everywhere
in
the
town
for
working
citizens
as
well
as
students
to
ride
to
everywhere
they
want
to
go.
Special
carriages
on
subways
are
planned
for
cycliests
to
board
with
their
bicycles.
Bicycle
lanes
are
paved
and
are
closed
from
other
mobile
vehicles
to
ensure
the
safety
of
cyclists.

3. Road
System
Specialized
subway
lane,
properly
divided
walkalators
and
bicycle
lane
for
a
better
disciplined
and
systematic
traffic.
4. Wave
technology
Unlike
fossil-­‐fules
power
plants,
wave
and
tidal
energy
facilities
generate
electricity
wihtout
producing
any
pollution
emissions
or
greenhouse
gases.
Since
the
first
wave
and
tidal
energy
facilities
are
currently
being
deployed,
the
full
environmental
impacts
of
wave
and
tidal
power
remain
uncertain
but
are
projected
to
be
small.
The
tidal
wave
technology
is
the
use
of
kinetic
energy
produced
from
the
movement
of
the
waves
to
spin
the
turbine
that
is
then
converted
to
electrical
energy
that
will
provide
electricity
to
the
entire
town.

5. Thick
transparent
protection
glass
dome
The
town
is
covered
by
a
special
thick
transparent
glass
that
gives
out
a
kind
of
sound
and
vibration
in
water
about
few
feet
away
from
each
zones
to
keep
the
aquatic
animals
away.
It
will
not
harm
the
animals
unless
it
brings
harm
to
us,
the
thick
outer
glass
will
give
a
little
electric
shock
to
any
animals
when
it
brings
danger.
6. Fulfill
the
needs
of
citizens.
All
facilities
and
demand
that
are
needed
by
citizens
are
proved
in
The
Caracatita
such
as
settlement,
healthcare,
security
etc.
It
gives
the
citizens
a
feeling
of
security.

With
the
inspiration
from
City
of
Lancaster,
the
citizens
of
this
city
will
have
a
rather
wide
opportunity
for
jobs
so
that
all
family
in
The
Caracatita
would
have
a
comfortable
and
happy
lifestyle.
I
am
really
inspired
with
the
air
ventilation
from
the
Derinkuyu
Underground
city.
As
well
as
underwater
city,
it
needs
ventilated
and
a
not
suffocating
ventilation
air
way.
Being
underwater,
we
would
never
know
what
is
coming
and
what
we
will
be
facing;
strong
currents,
wild
animals
and
many
more.
I
have
studied
and
plan
to
build
a
thick
special
glass
that
gives
out
a
kind
of
sound
and
vibration
in
water
about
few
feet
away
from

unless

glass
will
give
a

electric
shock
to
any
animals

it
brings

Conclusion
The
design
process
of
new
towns
is
not
as
east
as
it
seems.
From
the
structure
of
the
town
to
the
town
planning
strategies
and
the
features
to
make
if
sustainable,
every
slightest
detail
needs
to
be
taken
into
account
to
create
an
organized
town.
The
idea
generation
of
the
town
structure
started
as
hard
as
they
are
to
fulfill
other
aspects
such
as
zonings
of
the
town
needs
to
be
considered.
I
have
to
admit
that
I
had
changed
the
structure
of
The
Caracatita
countless
times
in
order
to
meet
the
criteria.
Through
all
the
research
about
the
cities
above,
I
had
learnt
the
priority
of
citizens
is
place
before
everything.
Secondly,
to
achieve
a
future
town,
green
town
planning
is
mandatory.
I
have
known
more
about
sustainability
and
ways
to
make
a
town
sustainable.
To
put
in
a
nutshell,
we
need
to
be
smart
when
come
to
planning
a
town.
We
cannot
just
simply
plan
the
way
we
want
it
but
to
think
far
and
see
the
future.
